According to my spam:

[agilebrit]

I am a crossdressing ("Open Your Eyes to Extreme Multidimensional Mascara") bisexual man ("Meet and view pics of local gay men today," "She will love you more than any man") with a small ("Get A Bigger Pen1s Today!"), limp ("like a rock") penis, and possible VD ("Expansive Choices Economical `Canadien` Pharmaceudticals List prices"). I also apparently desperately want to get rid of my timeshare ("Have a timeshare? agilebrit") and buy fake designer watches and bags with the proceeds ("SAVE Big Now... Finest Swiss Rolex watches & brand bags"). I'm also not much of a wine connoisseur, because someone believes that I think I can get good wine very cheaply ("12 bottles of Fine Wine for just $4.99 a bottle, and gifts").

Does anyone actually BUY things from this spam?

In other news, I found out about Heath Ledger's death from my flist, which proves what a geek I am. Unlike (apparently) most of my flist, I thoroughly enjoyed "A Knight's Tale" and "The Brothers Grimm" (for the crack they were), kind of loathed "10 Things I Hate About You," and never saw "Brokeback Mountain." I'm very much looking forward to his performance as the Joker.

RIP, Heath. I hate that a promising young actor allowed drugs to end his life. :(

There has been some speculation that it isn't so much allowed drugs to end his life as used drugs (sleeping pills) to end his life. Either way, such a tragedy, especially for his little daughter :(

Well, I haven't heard mention of a note, and he was naked when the housekeeper found him, and had an appointment with a masseuse, so from what I know at this point, it looks accidental. Yes, tragic, especially since it seems like such a surprise to literally everyone. It's shocking that Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears are outliving him... :(

Here's the thing: It's so cheap to send, it's practically free to spam a list of 100,000 people or more. So, if any dumb cluck actually goes for one, it's all profit, baby!

As I say, I heard about it first as a twitter from the artist of a web comic. I insist I'm a bigger geek than you.

[agilebrit.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're totally a bigger geek than me. *bows in an "I'm not worthy" way* ;)

Ah, Spam how we loath thee. I am assuming *someone* must buy stuff via spam, otherwise, why would they do it?

Yeah, I hear you about Heath. I found out from others. I, too, adored A Knight's Tale - it was totally tongue in cheek, and not meant to be taken seriously at all. Brother's Grimm was fun as well. I have to admit I kinda liked 10 things. It's not Shakespeare, but it wasn't a bad modernization IMHO.

I saw Brokeback because someone else brought it over. Eh. Whatever.

We are all looking forward to the new Batman movie over here. He's not the one I ever would have picked for the roll, so it will be interesting to see.

Drugs. Man. Sucks.

I would have enjoyed "10 Things" had they made Kate even slightly likeable. As it was, I spent the movie wondering what that great guy saw in her.

From what I've seen on the news about his death, it had to have been accidental. Who makes an appointment with a masseuse and then commits suicide, naked, with no note? It's very sad. I've heard that he had trouble sleeping after taking on the role of the Joker, and, Lord, I don't blame him. :(

I enjoyed A Knight's Tale because it was very original. Who would have thought they could have incorporated modern music with medieval themes and not have it be jarring or obtrusive. It wasn't the best movie ever, but it was fun.

What a shame that someone with so much going for him either falls victim to drug overdose or has thrown his life away intentionally.

[agilebrit.livejournal.com]

It's really sad, especially for his daughter, who will never know him. :(

[crayonbreakygal.livejournal.com]

You get the same spam I get. Argh.

I liked A Knight's Tale too. Very funny.

It's just so sad to see this happen.

[agilebrit.livejournal.com]

I'm still shaking my head over it. :(

I am a crossdressing bisexual man with a small, limp penis and possible VD. I also apparently desperately want to get rid of my timeshare.

Wow! It must be so hard to be you. What a terrible life.
